Our trustee Joe Cribb was honoured at an event at the Royal Asiatic Society (RAS) on 18 April. The event was a celebration of Joe’s 75th birthday and the publication produced in recognition of his contribution to numismatics: Look at the Coins! Papers in Honour of Joe Cribb on his 75th Birthday. This title was chosen because of the frequency with which Joe has reminded fellow researchers to look at the coins themselves rather than relying on secondary sources.
Joe’s colleagues Helen Wang, Robert Bracey and Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis all spoke at the event, after which Joe thanked and paid tribute to his family, friends and colleagues who had all contributed to the rich life he has enjoyed.
A more detailed account of the event is available on the RAS blog, as well as a recording of the event on the RAS YouTube channel. A copy of Look at the Coins! will soon be available to read in our library.
